Abstract
We present the self-organizing wireless adaptive network (SWAN) protocol, a distributed networking protocol capable of managing a stationless, wireless network of mobile users without recourse to any pre-existing infrastructure. This approach differs from previous work in that: the network employs dynamic topology management with power control, allowing it to deform gradually instead of being periodically broken down and rebuilt; control information is distributed instead of being concentrated in a "control phase"; and transmissions are dynamically scheduled in response to user demands instead of a priori.Keywords
